Working for the Snuggle Puggle

When we play, it's really noisy at our house. And my mom is playing with the camera color so we're all BROWN, even Dottie.

Sunny Sunday fun

Hi Evfurryone! It's been a busy week so we're playing on the weekend! First I had to chew on an itch.

And chew some more.

And a little more.

And chew on a back leg. No fleas just dry skin, my mom says.

Comfort licking.

Yum. She had a turkey sandwich for lunch. I can tell.

We sat in the sunny window.

Afternoon sun.

Late afternoon jumping around in the leaves.

I hope everyone had a good weekend!

First runner up!!

I won First Runner Up in the Mango-minster competition!! That is awesome. Thank you judges. I believe that Waldo is a beautiful animal and totally deserved to win. What an honor to be among so many cool, funny and creative doggies.

No picture at this minute. My mom has been busy transporting doggies and finally getting us cable TV so she's kinda tired. We will return with pictures as soon as we can.

I won the Hound Group!

I won!

I won!
I can't believe it.
I won!

I won the Hound Group of the Mango-minster competition! Scroll through his blog and see all the beautiful and handsome competitors. Thank you for the great honor! Now, I need to go roll in some rabbit poop to celebrate!

I have been tagged by Daisy and Dozer. I promise I will be better about doing them. I hope you all don't mind this post first.

Beam me up! More transporting

Another Saturday transport for my mom. This time it was 18 dogs going 800 miles using 37 volunteer drivers to transport them. It makes her feel good so I said it was okay with me. She promised to be back in time to enjoy the sun with us.

She carried three doggies in her Honda. This is Franny the bluetick beagle/doxie. She drooled a lot in the car but was a sweet dog.
My mom also drove Lovey-Dovey the black lab/newf and Clem the red heeler mix. All most excellent dogs according to my mom.

The other car took this girl (Shelly) and 3 others. Isn't she pretty? Her story is very sad though. She came into a shelter starving and pregnant. All her puppies died but one and she had no milk to give so the puppy was bottlefed. She was so good on the trip and such a sweet doggie that everyone fell in love with her. The puppy traveled in a shoebox with a towel.

Shelly looks angelic here. My mom can't believe she got such a good shot with her cheap camera. I think I would love playing with this girl.

Leaving the Scenic City heading west over a lake, over the mountains.

It was a pretty sunny day. Can you believe it was 70 degrees? Dottie and I are doing synchronized sniffing. We're pretty good, actually.

I'm glad my mom is home with us now. She is feeling much better and spent the rest of the day outside with us.

This isn't Skywatch Friday but my mom has been so crazy about the sunsets lately she took bunches of pictures. The camera doesn't show all the pretty colors but you can see some--sort of salmon and turquoise. I wonder if it smells like fish up close? The squiggle is bird poop on the car windshield.


We didn't get this up in time for working for the Snuggle Puggle but here I am enjoying Sunday doing what I love to do--which is walking along the cut up tree trunk and hanging out with the pack.

My mom says to say she is sorry. Due to budget cuts, she has lost all her help at work and is now doing the work of SIX people. Yes, she is glad she still has a job but it makes her so tired. I help all I can by keeping her warm. It's been down to 8 degrees at night here!

Positive Vibes

Maddie the English setter

It was another transport Saturday. My mom drove to Gadsden, Al to pick up 2 English Setters and a beagle. She took pictures in the car because the setters were a little too wild outside the car. She handed them over to another driver in Chattanooga. All 3 were going to NJ & New England.

Harper (beagle) and Kathy (black & white setter)

Since the transport was so early (7am) she was able to get back in time to spend the whole day with us. I have some videos but blogger is not letting us upload them today. We will do that as soon as we blogger lets us!

I borrowed Rocky's candle because we are also praying for our friends. We are thinking of our friends who are in daily pain and some who have to have operations this week. We tried very hard to send out lots of positive vibes by enjoying ourselves and the warm sunny day.

On the Road and working for the Snuggle Puggle

My mom apologizes. This is board meeting month and she just lost her last assistant so all energy is going to work to help keep us in our luxurious surroundings (hahaha, not).

On the road going toward Atlanta, Ga.

She did a transport this past weekend. This is old Tango. His owner had died and Tango ended up in the Knoxville shelter. The Florida dal rescue wanted him so he joined in on the transport.

He woofed and moaned the whole time. Poor old thing. He is 11 years old and very arthritic.At least he will spend his final years in loving comfort.

This is Snickers. He came from up north, going to his furever home in Valdosta, Ga. He kind of growled at Tango so my mom had to keep him in the front seat so Tango could stretch out in the back.

I worked hard this weekend. I helped Brinx play a little. My mom says PLEASE pay no attention to all the torn up toilet paper--it was right after he had sculpted the roll on the couch. It's loud so you might need to turn it down. We were watching The Duchess of Duke Street. I didn't understand it though. But Brinx had a good play session. And he didn't cough at all.

Happy News--pupdated a little

So many sad things have happened in the past couple months that I'm glad I have some happy things to talk about.


My friends, Posh and Sugar, are both going to be okay!! They found out Posh had eaten a ball of yarn (which was removed by an operation) and Sugar has a bacterial infection that will be very easy to cure. Happy news! Aroooo!



My friend, Poppy, of Airedale Heaven is feeling better. Happy news! Aroooo!


My friend, Buddy, had a tumor removed and it was benign! Fantastic news! Aroooo!

Look at this!! This is Brinx one of our foster dogs. He has a severe heartworm infection so he's being treated in slow stages. He had enough energy to sculpt a roll of toilet paper today!
Okay, maybe my mom isn't SO excited about his artistry but it's a good sign. A happy sign! Aroooo!

Pupdate because my mom forgot to tell me to include this yesterday--

To make you bark out loud and feel better--here is a site that cracks my mom up. She watches it over and over and over, esp. the Talking Doberman and The Evil Chihuahua:

This is my happy face. I am happy for my friends' good news. I am happy that I have a mom who loves me more than anything. I hope everyone has some happy news in their lives, too.

Working Tuesday

We're working this evening! We got one picture before the batteries died!

This is me curled up. Davoo is watching me with his demon eyes. We've been out running around in the cold snowless air. So I am now resting and snuggling.

There are some updates on our friend, Daisy who is just one year old and has gone through so much. Please visit and leave a message of encouragement. Of course, money is greatly welcomed but words of encouragement are invaluable.

Remember this button? My mom works with Paws for Courage--to help save animals in domestic abuse situations. They have a new way to raise money which we all might be able to help with--old cellphones! Here is the info:

I need to sleep now. Good night!
